It could be just overboosting causing limp. Do you have a dowes valve on it?? Boost gauge?? Is it a CRD motor?????

07 motor sounds like a CRD.
Perhaps the change over was not done properly.. ECM issues??????

Wait till you get it home and then after you know all the info
post it up who knows someone may be able to help,
So you think it has a CRD in a Di body correct??

It will be serious enough mate when your at 100ks and half way overtaking someone and limp mode decides to kick in. It could put you in a situation mate. When you get it, post up more details if you can. I wouldn't be leaving this issue personally. ..

X2. I'd be walking away unless owner fixes the issues.
